趣味知識

Huanansaurus was discovered during the construction of a railway station in Ganzhou, China.2

It lived about 72 to 66 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.3

Huanansaurus is an oviraptorid, a group of dinosaurs that are closely related to birds and had feathers.1

Its skull had a circular hole called a supratemporal fenestra that was much smaller than the hole below it.1

Huanansaurus is most closely related to Citipati, a dinosaur found in Mongolia, about 3,000 kilometers away.1

More than 200 oviraptorosaur nests with eggs have been found in the same area where Huanansaurus lived.1
